Disney Plus Changes The Simpsons to Widescreen, Ruining Key Shots | Collider.
One of the biggest selling points of Disney Plus was access to every episode of Fox's The Simpsons. However, it's not every episode, and some episodes have been “formatted to fit your screen” in such a way as to cut out visual jokes. That would explain why Disney chose not to include the episode on Disney Plus.
The company said in November that it chose to release the episodes in a 16:9 aspect ratio “in order to guarantee visual quality and consistency across all 30 seasons.” In doing so, the quality might be better, but the jokes don't land as well. When The Simpsons premiered in 1989, it was in a 4:3 ratio.
Latest. Daryl Hannah's bare behind in “Splash” isn't the only thing being censored by Disney Plus and its family-friendly streaming service, as a few other shows and films have received subtle edits. A Disney spokesperson did confirm that “a few scenes in the film have been slightly edited to remove nudity.”
Streaming Options. The Simpsons is a comedy institution that seems to transcend change. (The Simpsons is produced by 20th Century Fox TV, which Disney owns as part of its $71.3 billion purchase of the entertainment assets 21st Century Fox film and television assets.

The issue? Disney failed to preserve the show's original 4:3 aspect ratio, instead presenting the episodes in a cropped 16:9 format.
He said: “Bart, Lisa and Maggie have no hairlines — there's no line that separates their skin from their hair points. So the animators chose yellow — it's kinda skin, kinda hair.” And also a bit sick because if Lisa and Bart just have a load of spiky skin sticking up from their faces that is absolutely nasty.
It's a good thing the characters on The Simpsons are animated, because if Fox has its way, it appears they'll need to remain ageless forever. Fox revealed Wednesday that it has booked at least two more seasons of The Simpsons, currently airing its 30th season.
In the twenty-third season, she married Ned Flanders, the widower of Maude Flanders, helping raise Rod and Todd Flanders until her death. Edna is the only character that Wallace voiced on a regular basis. Following Wallace's death, the show's producers announced their intention to retire the character.

Michael Jackson. Well, he almost sings in the voice of Michael Jackson: As a stipulation of Jackson's guest appearance, Leon's singing was provided by soundalike Kipp Lennon. But no amount of behind-the-scenes shell games can disguise the fact that “Lisa It's Your Birthday” is a Michael Jackson composition.

Oregon. Simpsons creator Matt Groening was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. He commented that the fictional Springfield is based on Springfield, Oregon, located south of Portland. Like the Simpson family, the Groenings lived on Evergreen Terrace.
